THE SUPPER.
A more pleasant event than the sup
per, given the corps by Major v. V.
Ashford at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel
in the evening, has not long for oc-
cured IN Honolulu. Three tables in
hollow square were set in the dining
room, Major Ashford and a few invited
guests being seated at the head, Capt.
Hebbard and Company A. at the
right, and Captain Unger and Company
b. at the left table. Manager Bartlett
had spread in elegant style a sumptu
GUS collation.. While the feast wa:
still being assailed with will by the
large party Of over hundred, Major
Ashford began the ceremony Of pre-
senting the prizes to their respective
winners. The Major was very happy
in his presentation speeches, and the
recipients of the prizes were also
felicitous IN their replies, Mr.. Thurstor
giving a very neat address, full o.
humor; while the witty shots Of mem
bers Of the command frequently added
to the intermittent volleys of laughter
AS the ice cream melted away Major
Ashford began on a programme o.
toasts, as follows;-
His Majesty the King, responded tc
by Mr.. Kinney
Her Majesty Queen Victoria; "GoC
Save the Queen" by the party, and {
speech by Lieut. C. w. Ashford.

fellows" and speeches from Major A

principles, yet was cheerful above tn
average of banquets. Messrs. Kline
and c. w, Ashford's speeches wer
we'll worth reporting in full, for tn
amount of solid sense they contained
